There is an insufficient information to create the graph. (Option A).

How to create the velocity - time graph of the object

The velocity-time graph for an object with an initial position of 1.5 meters and travels for 2.4 seconds.

The initial velocity of the object is calculated as;

initial velocity = (change in initial position ) / (change in time)

Since we don't know the time in which the object attained the initial position of 1.5 meters, it will be impossible to calculate the initial velocity of the object.

The final velocity of the object is calculated as follows;

final velocity = (change in final position ) / change in time of motion

since the final position is not known, we won't be to calculate the final velocity of the object.
